Agree. Maybe some of the lesions were infectious in origin. Also, time of infection is not reported and it’s defined within 4 weeks of bronch. Those large necrotic masses or stenotic airways can lead to spontaneous infection unrelated to bronchoscopy. We see that all the time.

This is an excellent opportunity to get specialized training in patients with unique disease process that make anesthesia management a true challenge. Great job Juan! This is just the beginning...

A great loss to our field. I was honored to chat with him in this (pic) and a few other occasions. He lived an exemplary life, and was a true inspiration to many.

I enjoyed both the article and the editorial. Patient follow up in clinical trials is known to differ substantially from clinical practice. But in this new era, it seems worth it to develop an appropriate follow up system to keep patients home when deemed safe. Nice work!

Storm or "drizzle"? Comparison of IL-6 levels in COVID-19 patients vs. patients in prior major ARDS trials. Is a “Cytokine Storm” Relevant to COVID-19?

Publishing COVID-19 to death.... When will we stop this wave of mediocre publications and unsupported clinical guidelines? This letter is a must read for all journal Editors. It's up them to stop this. Conquest of COVID‐19. Publish it to Death?

I could not agree any more. SARS-CoV-2 has also brought a pandemic of poor quality, repetitive, and misleading publications. Poor quality research should “stay home” too!

Urging all editors of journals- take an active role in reviewing #COVID19 research ✔️ titles important (not time for click bait) ✔️ ensure data not duplicated (especially from same center) ✔️ allow for robust method section even if breaking length rules ✔️ huge implications
